Purpose: The number of problems managed concurrently by family physicians during patient encounters has not been fully explored despite the implications for quality assessment, guideline implementation, education, research, administration, and funding. Our study objective was to determine the number of problems physicians report managing at each visit and compare that with the number reflected in the chart and the bill.
Methods: Twenty-nine members of the Wisconsin Research Network reported on encounters with 572 patients using a physician problem log.
